he can try to appeal but the speed of the trial, the defense being "i dont know what happened", his girlfriend being a witness, and the sheer number of convictions means he is probably utterly cooked.
Took the jury 4 hours to convict him (including dinner time).
:francis:
The man hung himself on the witness stand.

JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon lashed out at bitcoin and its peers, suggesting in remarks Wednesday on Capitol Hill that cryptocurrencies should be banned.

“I’ve always been deeply opposed to crypto, bitcoin, etc.,” the head of the largest U.S. bank by assets said under questioning from Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., during a Senate Banking Committee hearing. “The only true use case for it is criminals, drug traffickers … money laundering, tax avoidance.”

“If I was the government, I’d close it down,” he added.

The remarks are the latest broadside from Dimon against cryptocurrencies, though his bank is heavily involved in blockchain, the enabling technology for the $1.6 trillion industry.

In previous statements, Dimon has called bitcoin “a hyped-up fraud,” a comment he later walked back. He had also likened it to a “pet rock.”

Under further questioning from Warren, Dimon and several other CEOs of large banks brought before the committee as part of a routine hearing on the industry, agreed that crypto companies should face the same anti-money-laundering regulations as the major financial institutions.

The topic marked a rare note of unity between the banking leaders and Warren, usually a harsh critic of the industry.

“When it comes to banking policy, I am not usually holding hands with the CEOs of multibillion-dollar banks, but this is a matter of national security. Terrorists, drug traffickers and rogue nations should be barred from using crypto for their dangerous activities. It is time for Congress to act,” Warren said.

jp morgan has ties to ethereum, has their own token, their own blockchain, they allow their clients to invest in crypto, they're going in on tokenization..."b-b-but it's useless AND criminal!"

gimme a fukking break, jamie. :russ:

dude is full of shyt. he just doesn't like that crypto is becoming a disruptor in the financial world. he knows damn well there many more legitimate use-cases for it then funding terrorists and cartels...like cash does...at a scale far beyond what crypto does, in a far more difficult way to track it.

not to mention he's the ceo of a bank that's been fined 10s of billions of dollars just in the past 20-odd years for their own fukkery. and that's them getting treated with kid gloves.
